Method

1

Toss the chicken drumsticks in a bowl with all the ground spices, salt, pepper, and 2 tbsp of oil.

2

Sauté the onion and garlic with the bay leaf, cloves, and cardamom for about 3 minutes until softened, without browning.

3

Add the chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes.

4

Pour in the broth and pomegranate molasses, stir well, and simmer on low heat for 45 to 60 minutes.

5

Once the chicken is tender, fold in the ground walnuts and cook for another 10 minutes, adjusting the salt and pepper if needed.

6

Serve over rice or with bread, generously spooning the sauce over top.

7

Garnish with pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley.
